Sun, 25 Nov 2018 14:30:46 +0000https://stjohnsbbh.org.uk/?p=3474The aim of Love in a Box is to ensure that every young person living in YMCA Downslink Group’s support housing projects has a present to open on Christmas morning. This may be all they receive on this day, and every year it is heartening to see how the kindness of strangers has a powerful impact on the young people.

People can get involved by making up a shoe box of gifts for a young person staying in supported housing over Christmas, or by donating to the Just Giving campaign www.justgiving.com/campaign/loveinabox18 . Please drop off boxes at the Y Centre, Albion Way RH12 1A. Do use the blank poster if your wish to fill in your own drop-off location and share with family and friends and on social media – #LoveinaBox.

Could you help us make Christmas special for those who will have little or nothing under the tree on Christmas morning? If so, please leave a new unwrapped toys or gifts, or toiletries sets at Brock Taylor Estate Agents on East Street or The Salvation Army on Booth Way.

They are able to offer an initial “no obligation” session for anyone whom you feel might need such care. In addition, some limited bursary is also available for those who cannot afford the full amount of our fees. Their office is located at Trafalgar Road Baptist Church. Anyone can book an initial session with one of their counsellors by ringing 07971 582 718.
